Try: Dramatic Mascara

One of the biggest concerns that comes with mascara on lower lashes is raccoon eyes. Make mascara last all day by coating it with a clear waterproof formula. No more sooty circles!

Try: False Lashes

Applying false lashes can be intimidating, especially on the lower lash line. Skip strip lashes and opt for a few individual pieces to make eyes pop. Start by trimming them if they're too long and apply a dot of clear lash glue before placing sporadically under real lashes. Finish with a coat of mascara and no one will know they're fake.

Try: Bold Eyeliner

If you already line the waterline with a black eye pencil, add another stroke along the lower lash line. This makes your lashes appear thicker in no time.

Try: Clumpy Clusters

Apply a coat of mascara and before they dry completely, pinch a few lower lashes together to make them stick to each other. You'll get that twiggy look without having to draw them on.
